    I just rip the tops off some grass, hold it up, and drop it. Seems to work fine, readily accessible in the places I hunt, and the price is right.
    Might not have the sensitivity of some of the other methods tho.

    Like the carpenters chalk @mallard833 how's the snow over your side of the ditch. We got a good dusting today but nothing on your polar vortex thingy you guys are getting.
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
